]]>Star of stage, screen, and Christmas-themed metal albums, Sir Christopher Lee, has passed away at the age of 93.

While he’s most recently known for his work as an evil wizard and Sith Lord, Lee began his acting career by frequently playing Dracula in horror films produced by Hammer. Before later settling into an ominous groove to play the villains in The Man with the Golden Gun,The Wicker Man, and Gremlins 2: The New Batch.

Lee also enjoyed a career-resurgence in his later years when long-time fan Tim Burton cast him in films like Sleepy Hollow and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which led to him taking substantial roles in The Lord of the Rings films and Star Wars: Episode II – The Clone Wars.

He will be dearly missed by all who befriended him, worked with him, and fans of awesome voices in general. (Telegraph)

]]>It’s that time of year again. Time to get your face melted off with Satanic merriment from the 92-year old star of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars films. Christopher Lee, who hands down has the best voice in the geriatric death metal set, is back with his third rocking tribute to Hell and the holidays. “Darkest Carols, Faithful Sing” is available on iTunes and wherever drudgy metal holiday anthems from Dracula are sold.

]]>Despite being so, so, so very old, like older than Bill Cosby old, Christopher Lee still knows how to rock. And so, just in time for the holidays, he offers you his newest single, “Jingle Hell.” Download it from Amazon or iTunes, crank it up, and enjoy the yuletide cheer.

]]>As previously rumored, the two Hobbit movies from director Peter Jackson now have official titles. The first one will have the title The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, while part 2 will be known as The Hobbit: There and Back Again. As for release dates, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is set to come out on December 14, 2012, while The Hobbit: There and Back Again has a release date of about a year later on December 13, 2013.

In case you’re a little rusty on your Tolkien, both of these titles come from chapters of the book (“An Unexpected Party” and “There and Back Again”). Now, since I don’t have anything else to say about these confirmed titles, here’s a massive list of the cast:

]]>Martin Scorsese’s Hugo Cabret is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, being that it’s Martin Scorsese using 3D for the first time. OK, so I’ll pay for 3D glasses one more time, but if this disappoints me, I’m done with 3D. For real this time.

Anyway, it looks like I’ll be strapping those goddamn goggles to my head even sooner than I thought, thanks to a deal with Paramount. Now the movie is going to be shown on Thanksgiving, so you can drag all of your relatives to a midnight showing.

This album promo will melt both your face and assumption that Christopher Lee is of sound mind. Lee tells the tale of Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor, via maximum wailage. His album, "Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross" is available now.
